last week in the busyness of setting up for our Easter service at the local high school i was asked where we were going to put the cross. the stage was already set, lots of decorations had been put up for the theme of the service. i didn’t mean to be insulting, but i said if it was my...

things i like on tumblr.
http://bookshelves.tumblr.com/ - beautiful, random and inspiring pictures…of bookshelves. it is what it claims to be. warning: if you love books you may lust.
